to obtain glyphs in marvosym.pfb

to obtain glyphs in marvosym.pfb

hello all

<summary of previous episodes>
I begin to be able to use utopia-expert fonts thanks to the fourier tricks 
located in the different type-*.enc.
My previous work with TeXfont has not been entirely useless for it has helped 
me to understand what I needed to use the available material which gives 
access to utopia-expert.

I would seize the opportunity to thank all the people who made available  the 
howtos on ConTeXt, the wiki and so on. And also those who answered my first 
questions on this list, even if I choose not to follow all their 
recommendations ;-) To say the truth I've already devoted the last three days 
in learning how to use ConTeXt and cannot envisage to swap to LuaTeX before 
some time.
</summary of previous episodes>

But alas I've got a new problem which I state hereafter:

I've tried this:
\definesymbol [Telefon][\getglyph{umvs}{\char84}]
because umvs.tfm is in the marvosym directory
but it doesn't work.
I've also tried marvosym (because there is a marvosym.pfb) instead of umvs but 
to no avail.

I've succeeded nonetheless in obtaining the glyphs of fourier-orns with 
\definefontsynonym [Fourier-Ornements] [fourier-orns] [encoding=ec]
\definesymbol [lefthand][\getglyph{Fourier-Ornements}{\char116}]

Is it because I need to load a map or something?

Any hint would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks to all

You need to provide tha tfm file name, not pfb, but there already
exists a module which does that.

\usesymbols[mvs]
\setupsymbolset[martinvogel 2]
\symbol[Telephone]

See and the corrosponding source file (symb-mvs.tex)
    http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Symbols/mvs

I thought so (for TeX was complaining about a missing tfm) but failed to see 
how exactly. Thanks awfully.

Thanks a lot. There is some discrepancies between the said module and my 
TeXlive (2007) distribution but I've succeeded in using "it".
For those who could be interrested, I've done thus:
copy symb-mvs.tex to symb-mvs2.tex in my texmf-local/tex/context
inside this copy
change 
\loadmapfile[original-base.map] into 
\loadmapfile[marvosym.map]
and
change 
\definefontsynonym [MartinVogel] [fmvr8x] into 
\definefontsynonym [MartinVogel] [umvs]

don't forget to texhash
and it works!

Thanks a lot.
